Felt great to get back in the gym after a week off. I was supposed to deload and train with very light weights, but I tried and my elbow tendons were just too sore. Took a whole week off from everything and healed up. New training maxes for all three lifts from my mock meet. Numbers are getting bigger than I've ever lifted so pretty pumped. Had a really good shoulder/core workout;
DB OHP - 145X5, 155X5, 165X5.
Seated DB press - 60X12, X10, X12. Superset with hanging knee raises X20X3.
DB lateral raises - 30X8X3. Superset with ab wheel lockout X10X3.
Incline BB bench press 135X8X3.
Incline BB bench was with a 3 second pause at the bottom of the lift and explosive to the top. Bench incline was high, almost straight up. one notch down.
Deadlifts tomorrow with some crazy numbers that came up after I hit the 500 deadlift in the mock meet.
Just found out that there is a contest in June in Dauphin, so my training cycles will be geared toward that meet. I have my eyes on a couple of provincial records in the squat and bench, The deadlift provincial record is nuts at around 700 lbs so that's a ways away lol. Provincial raw squat record is 495 - I squatted 455 in my mock meet (not on video - convenient eh?) so 40 lbs to go on that one. Won't be easy. The provincial raw bench record is about 379 lbs. At least 20 lbs to go there. If I didn't have numbers to chase I wouldn't be doing this. I wont sacrifice good form just to hurry at those numbers but will work my ass of to get there.
